CRESCENT CITY SHRIMP AND GRITS

Steps:

• For Grits:.
• Saute sausage in a medium saucepan just until hot, and some oil is released.
• Add water, bring to a boil, add salt and grits. Cook until thick and soft.
• Stir in cheese spread until melted through. Add parsley and adjust seasoning to taste.
• For Shrimp:.
• Generously sprinkle shrimp with seafood seasoning. I use Chef Paul's, but use whatever kind you happen to like.
• Melt butter in a nonstick skillet, add onion and pepper and cook gently until onion is translucent.
• Add garlic and cook a few moments more, stirring constantly.
• Add shrimp and wine and cook until nice and pink, but still tender.
• To serve:.
• Ladle grits into shallow bowls, top with shrimp, and drizzle with the butter and wine left in the pan. You can top it with a bit more parsley or green onions if you like. Traditionally, we would serve this with a crisp green salad and mimosas for a special brunch.
